Bastille Day, the French National Day, commemorates the Storming of the Bastille in 1789, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. Paying homage to the French flag, the Mickey Mouse head was adorned with blue, white, and red stripes, creating a patriotic spectacle.
The record-breaking drone display was part of a larger 12-minute nighttime show meticulously crafted by Disneyland Paris Entertainment in collaboration with Dronisos. Over 1,630 drones, including pyro-drones, painted the sky with scenes from iconic Disney stories inspired by France. “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Aristocats,” and “Ratatouille” were all represented, alongside national symbols like the Eiffel Tower and the rose window of Notre Dame Cathedral.
This extraordinary event not only marked a historic moment for Disneyland Paris but also showcased the innovative use of technology in creating magical and memorable experiences for guests. The stunning drone display is a testament to Disney’s commitment to pushing boundaries and captivating audiences with their creativity and ingenuity.
